Description

This Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon recipe delivers tender, flavorful salmon filets coated in a sticky, sweet, and garlicky glaze. Quick and easy to prepare, it combines honey, garlic, soy sauce, and a hint of sriracha for a perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Ready in under 20 minutes, it’s a delicious weeknight dinner option that can be made in one skillet with broiling to caramelize the glaze.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 (6 oz each) salmon filets
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • 1/4 tsp blackening seasoning (optional)

Glaze Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon filets dry using paper towels to ensure the glaze sticks better. Season each filet evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and blackening seasoning if using. Set the filets aside to let the seasoning penetrate.
  2. Prepare the Glaze: Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the broiler. In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter melts completely.
  3. Cook the Sauce: Add the minced garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir and cook the mixture for about 30 seconds until the sauce is heated through and well combined.
  4. Sear the Salmon: Place the salmon filets skin-side down (if the salmon has skin) into the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes while frequently basting the salmon with the sauce from the pan by spooning it over the top to build flavor and moisture.
  5. Broil the Salmon: Transfer the skillet with the salmon to the broiler and broil for 5-6 minutes. During broiling, baste the salmon once more with the glaze to ensure a caramelized finish. The salmon should be cooked through and beautifully caramelized on top but still tender inside.
  6. Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven. Optionally, garnish with minced parsley for a fresh touch before serving. Enjoy your sticky, sweet, and garlicky glazed salmon!

Notes

  • Sticky sweet and garlicky, this glazed salmon recipe comes together in just 20 minutes.
  • Use the middle rack for broiling to prevent the glaze from burning.
  • Frequent basting during cooking helps keep the salmon moist and enhances flavor.
  • Blackening seasoning is optional but adds a nice smoky depth.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley to add color and a subtle herbal note.
